comment: My time spent with UMRFC has helped prepare me for all sorts of challenges in the real world. I met my wife through rugby (thanks Sam), and would definitely not be here where I am today without all the people that helped me. It has been exciting and rewarding watching the club grow since 2009 and it wouldn’t be where it is today without everyone who has helped over the years. I especially appreciate all of the unpaid coaches that I was lucky enough to learn from (Adam, Steve, Masso, Perp)
